As the sun casted it's golden rays down upon the clouds, young girl sat on the sit observing the surrounding around her. Everyone moved around quickly, panicking about finding the right place on a plane, while she has been ready to departure for about 10 minutes already. She looked at the boys sitting next to her, thinking how quickly the last two days have passed. She neatened the sleeves of her oversized jumper, feeling a bit insecure about her look today, but knowing that things like makeup were pointless for a 12 hours flight. The sound of heavy breathing near her, caused her to come back to the real world. She looked at Brooklyn, sitting next to her, who seemed to be really stressed, no matter how hard he wanted to hide it.

"Hey.. are you okay?" She whispered to his ear, not wanting other boys to hear their conversation. Brooklyn looked at her nervously but smiled lightly, suggesting everything is fine. She touched his skin with her fingers, putting her hand into his and squeezing lightly, remembering from their vlogs how scared he used to be of heights. She knew this movement won't do much, but she wanted to show him, she's there for him whenever he needs her. "Remember that starts are the worst, after that I'll be all get better" she whispered, holding his hand tighter as she felt the plane starting.

Brooklyn was thankful for Annabelle being with him in that moment. No matter how many times he flew already, planes were always scaring him. Now he knew, it will be easier for him to fight the fear, as he had this little girl sitting right next to him.

The hours were passing, causing the sun to completely hide below the sky, allowing orange moon to brighten the world. The brown haired girl took her headphones out, while putting on her hoodie and black sunglasses to completely turn herself off the real world. Sleeping in the plane, especially in the middle sit, was always hard for her, but she decided to give it a try, knowing she needs to be rested for fun days in Los Angeles. She closed her eyes, listening to relaxing voice of John Legend hugging her to sleep. After a while, Rye, who sat next to her, could hear her breathing slowly regulating as her head fell on his shoulder, hugging to him comfortably. He smiled, feeling Annabelle's body close to his.

Their journey has finally finished and everyone was already in the hotel, ready to chill. Annabelle as an only girl in the group, had room to herself, where other boys shared 2 rooms in between them. For the first few days, Rye got paired with Andy whereas Brooklyn, Mikey and Jack took the 2nd room.

They all managed to come to hotel at around 6 PM at their local time, and because they all slept in a plane, no one was tired, even if it was night time in England. Brooklyn came out with a proposition to chill in one of the rooms, preferably theirs as it was the biggest. Everyone agreed, so now 6 people has been lying in 3 beds laughing, binge eating and watching Netflix.

"Andy, are you okay?" Annabelle asked quietly standing near the bathroom door. They definitely cheated on their diets today and the oldest member of the group must got some sort of food poisoning as you could hear him throwing up in the bathroom. "Oh my gosh, Blair will kill me. We're here for..." she stopped, looking at her phone, "3 hours and one is already unwell" she said throwing herself onto the bed.

"Belle, don't worry. He'll be alright tomorrow, plus it's not your fault anyway" Brooke said hugging her tightly. He definitely was the person she shared most 'love' to as usually she tend to be really unromantic and non huggable; however, with Brooke there was no such word as no cuddles. Annabelle smiled, knowing he is like a brother to her - she would never be in relationship with him, even though he's such a wonderful person, and she knew he felt the same towards her.

"Exactly, don't worry Parker" Rye laughed, calling Annabelle by her last name. She just looked at him, trying to hold an annoyed face while smiling lightly. Couple of days ago, they had their another 'tea talk' where they decided to make unique nicknames for each other. But because both of them were neither creative nor serious, they decided to call each other by their surnames. Annabelle was just being sarcastic, laughing at the situation, but Rye being a little cheeky as he is, decided to use this to annoy his friend by taking it all seriously and using it all the time. He didn't want to offend her in any way, he just loved seeing her in this positive, irritated mood.
